-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
This course awards academic credit for Department of Biology-approved research supervised on campus in a field, laboratory, or other professional setting which enables a student to gain practical knowledge in pure or applied science. A student wishing to enroll in this course must submit a written proposal (following department guidelines that can be obtained from the chair of the Department of Biology) to the chair of the Department of Biology or his/her appointed representative before the 12th week of the semester preceding the internship. All proposals must be approved by a majority of the faculty members of the Department of Biology. Students must complete 3 to 6 credit hours to meet the requirements of a biology major. Students may enroll repeatedly up to a maximum of 6 total semester hours. Prerequisite: BIOL 394 or permission of the department chair.
-
4.00 Credits
An advanced level course on techniques and theory of modern genetics and biotechnology. The course is designed to expose students to modern biochemical genetics, gene regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and mechanisms for the rearrangement and exchange of genetic material. Prerequisite: BIOL 208, BIOL 209, BIOL 305, and BIOL 344
-
4.00 Credits
A senior-level lecture and laboratory course in which the nature of viruses and their interactions with prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and organisms are presented. The emphasis is on animal viruses but bacterial and plant viruses will be covered. The first section of the course treats viral structure, viral replication, and viral effects at the cellular and organismic level. The second section discusses viral virulence, the disease states produced by animal viruses in their hosts, antiviral therapies, mechanisms of viral immunity, and viral epidemiology. Laboratory exercises will be sequenced with lectures and include development of animal cell cultures, demonstration of viral cytopathic effect, determination of viral titer, viral neutralization assays, immunological detection of virus, and analysis of viral structural components. Laboratory exercises will employ bacterial, insect, plant, and animal cells as viral hosts. Prerequisites: BIOL 305, BIOL 344, CHEM 315, CHEM 316, CHEM 315L, and CHEM 316L and permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This course emphasizes principles at the population, community, and ecosystem levels of organization. Representative topics include energy flow, biogeochemical cycles, population regulation, types of ecosystems. Consideration given to society's relationship to its environment. Prerequisites: BIOL 208 and BIOL 209 or equivalent, BIOL 305, BIOL 344, BIOL 394.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
This course awards academic credit for Department of Biology-approved research supervised externally in a field, laboratory, or other professional setting which enables a student to gain practical knowledge in pure or applied science. A student wishing to enroll in this course must submit a written proposal (following department and/or agency guidelines that can be obtained from the chair of the Department of Biology) to the chair of the Department of Biology or his/her appointed representative before the 12th week of the semester preceding the internship. All proposals must be approved by a majority of the faculty members of the Department of Biology. Students must complete 3 to 6 credit hours to meet the requirements for a biology major. Students may enroll repeatedly up to a maximum of 6 total semester hours. Prerequisite: BIOL 394.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Elective for students who have had upper-division biology courses. Intended to diversify or specialize a student's training beyond the regular curriculum, taking advantage of a local person' s particular interest or skill, or of a facult y member? ? interest or skill. The course will be pursued in a less formal but no less intensive fashion than the regular courses. Interested students should present specific proposals to the department chair
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed primarily for future elementary school teachers. It introduces the student to the basic concepts of chemistry including atoms, radioactivity, bonding, chemical equations, solutions, acids and bases, and some aspects of organic and biochemistry. The latter part of the course is devoted to the study of chemical science as it applies to the elementary school: mini lectures, demonstrations, experiments, games, textbook and journal reviews are presented by the students. Circumstances permitting, the course ends with practice teaching at an elementary school. Computers are used as aids to instruction and as laboratory tools. The course CHEM 100L must be taken concurrently with this course.
-
1.00 Credits
The laboratory emphasizes learning by discovery and by student-designed (or modified) experiments. Current or prior enrollment in CHEM 100 is required.
